The Haute Food Co., Plaza Damas, Kuala Lumpur

I was introduced to Haute Food Co. by MichYap...we got sick and tired of having mamak for lunch so we decided to treat ourselves here...

Fuss-free, tasty cafe food. When you step into this quaint cafe, you feel like you have been transported to a cafe in Auckland (or Melbourne, according to KChoo)

Feeling peckish I decided to start off with the soup of the day: wild mushroom (mushroom soup is always way winner for me). The portion was pretty good size but and was accompanied by some yummy homemade bread (which made me kinda full halfway through...)

I was actually pretty stuffed after my starter and was worried I wouldn't be able to finish my lasagne...but it was so tasty, I polished that too! *surprise surprise*

What everyone else had...

Smoked salmon & rocket fritata

(I think this was) a beef sandwich with rye bread

Dessert: Some kind of toffee/caramel cake

Dessert: A really dreamy Chocolate Dream *drools*

Some kind crumble concoction with vanilla ice-cream (check out the fork: someone couldn't wait for me to finish taking pix!)

The coffee at this cafe was pretty good too...a good place for tea-time.

My second outing @ Haute Food Co.


Beef & Vegetable soup

Sandwiches always seem like a popular choice here - turkey ham sarnie...

Weekend Makan Round-Up 25.04.2010

A weekend of eating which started with supper on Thursday night (yea, my weekends start kinda early...LOL)

Kaya toast & Black Sesame ice-cream with soyabean milk @ Pappa Rich: weird supper craving at 11pm...wanted something sweet and salty at the same time and ended up with the toast.  The black sesame ice-cream was super awesome...but quite expensive @ RM9.80.

 

Tai Chow Dinner @ Mei Yen, Jalan 20/7, Paramount Garden, PJ (same row as Caltex and Seaview Restaurant): My love for the lard is shared with others who have the same passion LOL

"Yuet Kwong Hor" (literal translation Yuet Kwong = Moon, Hor = Kuey Teow) The raw egg always gets me...gives the the dish a very nice silky texture. However, you have to eat the dish while it is hot as once it gets cold the smell of the raw egg is quite strong =_=

Lardy, lardy goodness! Can you spot the crispy bak yew pok (hokkien for crispy lard)?

Khow Yuk (stewed pork) Mee Hoon..."another melt in your mouth" winner...

Say the magic words for dessert: Durian!

Gluttony at its best (when you have company who has the same appetite and cravings as you)...hee hee hee...

Char Siew Rice brunch @ James Char Siew, Section 17 (Happy Mansion area): Don't know the kopitiam's name I only know the boss' name lol)

Free soup!

The lean angle

The fatty (melt in your mouth) angle *drools*

Damansara Village Steamboat: Steamboats are good with a group of friends on a cool evening...we can sit there for hours!

The herbal soup

The prawns are so fresh that sometimes they jump out of the pot! Well it didn't happen that night...oh well...

The prawns were really fresh and sweet *yum yum*

They even give you instructions on how to eat steamboat to acquire optimum taste/flavour and its benefits

Location:

Happy week to all! xoxo

The Press Room @ Bangsar Shopping Complex, Kuala Lumpur

A catch-up session with my EX(change)-colleagues is always a hoot with the amount of goss and drinks we go through...

We were so hungry (as usual, we are always hungry LOL), we started with the foie gras which was kinda small for the price but it was sure tasty...

Del's Fish: Didn't manage to sneak a bite as Del was not seated next to me - Del, was it good?

Karina's Wagyu Steak: Karina kept on saying: "Remember it's medium rare...NOT medium well done nor RARE." And the waiter simply replied: "Don't worry, Ma'am, the chef is French not a regular Malaysian who doesn't know the difference." 

Like HELLO? You are talking to a table of MALAYSIANS! Well, I took it as an insult and wanted to retort but what the heck, let's just drink, eat and be merry! (and yes, it was made to Karina's liking)

Rafizah's leg of lamb...

Sue-Ann, did you have fish too?

And last but not least, my WAGYU CHEEKS!!! Yeah, so what if they are not from Japan (they are from Australia), they are still tasty and did still melt in my mouth *yummmm*

No matter how full I am from my main course, I always have space for dessert! Desserts are usually best shared with everyone accompanied with coffee...

Butterscotch and pistachio ice-cream: very nice as it wasn't too sweet...

Profiteroles

Supposedly molten chocolate cake but it was overcooked so it wasn't too molten :(

Well fed girls are very happy girls!

Can't wait for the next session, ladies!

Much coffee & love xoxo
